and one more,
i have tested the same with the below code:

Code:
prompt>echo "test" | mail -r "\"someothermailid"\" -s "sample" arunprasad.thangaraj@domain.com
prompt>

The below is the sender information:
Quote:
123/C//Company/someothermailid/USR <someothermailid@domain.com>
Note: i received mail successfully with different sender name. what i logged in as "myownid". Now i can able to change the sender mail id.

I am using Lotus Notes and the above mail will display as "123/C//Company/someothermailid/USR " and date and subject in my inbox. When i open only i can see the mail address of the sender. This postmaster note is not changing.

My another requirement is, to send a mail which receives like: "someothermailid <someothermailid@domain.com>" not like "123/C//Company/someothermailid/USR <someothermailid@domain.com>".

can you please help me out, how i can achieve this?

deliver

deliver(8)						      System Manager's Manual							deliver(8)

NAME

       deliver - Delivers mail to an IMAP mailbox

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/deliver [-d] [-r address] [-f address] [-m mailbox] [-a auth-id] [-e] [-q] [-F flag]... [userid]...

       deliver -E  days

OPTIONS

       Ignored	for compatibility with /bin/mail Inserts a Return-Path: header containing address Inserts a Return-Path: header containing address
       Delivers to mailbox.  If any userids are specified, attempts to deliver to user.userid.mailbox for each userid. If the access control  list
       (ACL)  on any such mailbox does not grant the sender the right to post mail (p right) or if -m is not specified, then delivers to the INBOX
       for the userid , regardless of the ACL on the INBOX.

	      If no userids are specified, the deliver command attempts to deliver to mailbox.	If the ACL on mailbox does not	grant  the  sender
	      the  p right, the delivery fails.  Specifies the authorization id of the sender.	Defaults to "anonymous".  Enables duplicate deliv-
	      ery suppression.	This suppresses delivery of the message to a mailbox if a message with the same message-id (or	resent-message-id)
	      is recorded as having already been delivered to the mailbox.  Records the mailbox and message-id/resent-message-id of all successful
	      deliveries.  Delivers a message even when the receiving mailbox is over its quota.  Sets the system option or keyword  flag  on  the
	      delivered message.  Removes the duplicate delivery database of entries older than days.

DESCRIPTION

       The deliver command reads a message from the standard input and delivers it to one or more IMAP mailboxes.

       The  deliver  command  reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf file.  Depending on the setting of the reject8bit field in the
       imapd.conf file, deliver either rejects messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers or changes these characters to X.

FILE

       Configuration file for the IMAP server
